1968 - 1982 Corvette LS Accessory Drives

Accessory drives listed for LS swaps in the 1968-1982 C3 Corvette. The C3 guide warns that a low mount A/C compressor will not clear the frame, so A/C belongs up high in this car. BRP lists High Mount A/C drives with the compressor, plus alternator and power steering drives with or without a pump, each in three balancer lengths.

  • Low mount A/C will not clear the C3 frame
  • A/C drives come with a compressor
  • Short, Medium, Long

Mounts, the transmission bracket and headers for the C3 are on the 1968-1982 Corvette LS page. Read the 1968-1982 Corvette LS install guide before you order.

C3 drives including a steering pump

Balancer length is the last word in each drive name. Pick the length that lines up with the balancer on your C3 engine.

1968-1982 Corvette guide notes

  • In a C3, a low mount A/C compressor will not clear the frame.
  • The C3 kit and headers are meant for the F-Body oil pan or the Cadillac CTS-V oil pan.
  • Choose the F-Body pan for slightly more ground clearance, but it hits the factory power assist slave cylinder.
  • The kit will not work with the factory clutch z-bar.
